"Writing is a skill, not a talent, and thus one's ability as a writer can be improved by thoughtful effort. The problem with some people is that they graduate college as good writers, experience early success on account of that, and thus never devote themselves diligently to the relentless quest for improvement that could make them great writers."

Oh, and apologies to LGF on behalf of our "wingnut blog" for failing to cover this sooner. Granted, there were not one but two items about it sitting in Headlines for hours, but when a site that gave up blogging about Iran and the New York City terror plot to focus on the urgent threat from creationism tells you you’re falling down on the job, you listen.

OK, so all the people who have been ragging on Allah in the Hot Air comment threads now owe him a huge apology. Whatever wrong Allah has done in the past, you've got to wipe the slate clean after that one.

For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them . . . and they shall not escape.-- I Thessalonians 5:3 KJV

I know I rofl'ed... but with as much undeserved trashing as Charles has been giving Hot Air lately, they were bound to reply sooner or later.

(Hey Charles... remember when you used to whine about other people treating your COMMENTERS as if they were representative of your BLOG? How's it feel being on the other side of that equation, jackass?)

It has been something like 2 years since I even looked at CJ's site. It was the crap about Creationism that turned me off. I am not a Creationist since being a good Catholic who had a great education I accept evolution, and I accept that Genesis gives a simple explanation but it is not a science textbook :). That being said CJ just went too far over time and I was turned off by his rants....

Hit the tip jar, you ungrateful bastards!
